[@chrish4412]

My wife and just discovered your channel recently and love your informative videos! We are currently planning to visit Thailand for a few months and would love for you to do a video of some higher budget condos....maybe like in the $3000 - $4000 U.S per-month range.. Keep up the great work!!

[@hawardgreenwich3249]

Give me a 1000 thb. 🙏😔

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

To those asking about the price of Option 3, it was 40,000 THB/month. Sorry for leaving that out! My bad.

[@apontheroad]

Im planning to headover there in september i might take option 3 if its available. Checking out Phuket for two weeks in the mean time!.. Love your videos!

[@RetiredWorkingForYou]

wait.....not my bad! i just reviewed and realized i did put the price in!

[@Andy_sabin]

Option 3 has a beautiful pool area, I was thinking of buying there a couple of years ago.

[@shena.gun59]

The third choice is the best. There is a Central Department Store and a Jod Fair where you can eat delicious food every day, shopping, partying.

[@carryontraveling]

@@RetiredWorkingForYou gotta love those buds )))

[@viktor.egelund]

70 000 THB, that's expensive in these times. Even for central Bangkok by BTS. You will find good hotels discounting a monthly rate well below that. 🐮

[@davidd5636]

you will also find a lot better condo's on airbnb

[@haha-eg8fj]

@@davidd5636 but condos for Airbnb are illegal and you need to take the risk of being kicked out or cancelled.

[@tk4c415]

I first did an airbnb in Bangkok in 2016. First time I came to Thailand, the room I found was actually a hotel room where someone had listed, I figured out that all the airbnb host did was wait till I booked through him and then rented a room at the hotel. He made a few bucks and I learned a lesson..

[@dezzyjones]

Oh wow. How do you suppose you would avoid this in the future? I see so many rooms on Airbnb for cheap in Bangkok, now I am worried if they are just hotel rooms, and if I should cut out the middle man.

[@tk4c415]

@@dezzyjones It only happened the first time. You become aware of the names of condos and hotels. Compare the pictures of airbnb to pictures of agoda rooms to see if the same. It wasnt really a big markup, just the idea of it.

[@haha-eg8fj]

@@dezzyjones I always call the hotel to confirm the actual rate and see if I can book over the phone or through social media. Only time I book online is that they tell me it’s cheaper to book online.

[@Farang_Lifestyles]

100% option #3. Ok location, great facilites at condo and the size of the unit was excellent value per sqm .

[@judyprincehouse8422]

I liked option 2...I loved being close to the park. But we've only stayed in Bangkok for a month 2 times. We usually stay a few days and then go north or south.... and return for a few days before flying out. Love your videos.

[@jonmaher2531]

Option 2 for the inclusiveness (a cleaning service) and clean pool/hot tub/park. A quick dip in the pool is always nice and I didn't see that happening at option 1. I'm sure you made the right choice with your local knowledge and on the ground observations. Video's don't pick up everything. Enjoy guys. Always a pleasure. Peace out.

[@martinfornebu7266]

Hi Chris , Great video. Hayley makes your vid's even better . nice work

[@surasaknuamsukon7902]

[@WilsonSilva90]

I pressed like when you jumped on the BTS. Loved that transition.

[@free_spirit_traveler]

Your 3rd option is my old apartment! It was actually a great place to live and super convenient location and a really weird electronics mall across the street. Enjoy your new spot!

[@leonfebres1482]

Hi, could you please share any info on how exactly find this place?

[@ThailandThomas]

Great video Chris! It great to see someone who knows filmmaking! Just drives me crazy when I see a video condo tour and you get. This is me eating breaking, this me taking the BTS. This is me stopping at the market and shopping. Perhaps they get to the condo in fifteen or twenty minutes. By that time I am long gone. I will take number 2!

[@adamproctor9315]

Every time your videos show Chris that someone can speak to the 'Man of the house' or the 'Lady who knows what's happening' I believe you are 0-3 on making them crucial decisions, as it should be!

[@bdud383]

Hello Chris. I like more expensive version of option 2 because of the bar by the pool. The gym is better than option 1, as you said. But outside of the green pool, all were nice. Take care 😊

[@seanrrichards]

One time I stayed at the Banyon Tree near Lumphini Park. THe park was wonderful. The first time we were there we saw turtles all over the place, then this big lizard, but turned out to be monitor lizards. So exciting. It was a wonderful neighbourhood!!

[@El_Cristofaro]

Si Lom woulda been crash pad of the month for me. Location, location, location! Hey man, love your content. I’m likely moving to Thailand at some point soon in the future. The information you share really helps me figure out exactly where in Thailand I’ll begin the next chapter in my life. I appreciate you and all who help you create this terrific channel of yours. Thanks so much! Christopher

[@daveg695]

What?! Almost $2000 USD for 1br/1ba?! Those are US prices. I thought Thailand was supposed to be cheap. If people continue paying those exorbitant prices in BKK soon it will be as expensive as NYC.

[@shadowfilm7980]

Thought the same thing. I am in Los Angeles and I pay less! WTF! Almost $2000 a month for the first option! It’s nice yes but still. I think the owners just jack up the price out of greed and knowing a foreigner will have it.

[@CharmInpong]

There was showed luxury condo. Any way, Bangkok is getting high cost living. Everywhere you go it's money. The transportation there not like in U.S. you pay each commuted it's not like subway/bus in NYC (I used to live in Bangkok and NYC before move to small state in U.S.)I feel like I spent more money when living in Bangkok. I feel calm and feel quality living life in small state is much better. Bangkok it a good place for visitor who has a nice vocation but not for long time living.

[@sflxn]

It's still a ridiculous bargain compared to San Francisco. Between SF and BKK, I'd rather live in BKK. I'm sure NYC is also in the vicinity of SF prices. That living room is the size of a $5k/mo apartment in SF.

[@Silverwidows]

He's looking for himself though, and he's rich

[@Storocj]

Hello, we are looking at a flat in the same residence. Did they every clean up the pool? Can you give it a like if you would recommend the overall space. Thanks!

[@craftaddictRoxanne]

Option 3 I have travelled Europe and stayed in many bnbs I know what’s important. If your staying for at least a month you need a washer. Kitchen fridge. In Europe there washers are also dryers or we will put clothes on the balcony. You need the basics if your on vacation and nice of course. Need to see the sights and be able to swim in ocean at some point. Tfs good prices.

[@boomersooner728]

I liked option 2 but more importantly I love your return to some housing videos :) Your way of showing them is definitely my favorite. I hope you enjoy the last week or two Anna before she goes back to school!

[@supernice4839]

I would definitely go for option 3. Half price of first one. And a great view too!

[@AL4140]

Option 3 because Central Rama 9 has a hockey rink on the top floor. I’m a Canadian 🤷‍♂️

[@bolomantra]

Hello Chris, I just watched an interview with you on Thairish Times where you revealed that “your voice is annoying” opinion. I was stunned about this statement as I truly believe that you have great voice, like a professional entertainer! I actually admire you how much effort you put into pronunciation of spoken words. how articulate you are, and I wish 90% of KZbinrs could learn from you as some of them could really learn a lot from the way you speak. If it means anything to you, your voice has a character and is very original. Keep up the great work that people keep benefiting from and can understand spoken word. Your videos are very professional with interesting ideas. Thanks.

[@Travelwithchris]

Great video man! I've been loving Thailand so much! Would love to get together and chop it up! I'll be back in Bangkok this weekend for a few days! 🙌🏻

[@maki3953]

I like option 3 same as you because of good neighborhood , good price, but option 1 is also good. Its huge. You are a good husband. because you do what your wife wants

[@Storocj]

Hi Chris. This is Chris & Faby, guest #1 & 2 from Lush. I would vote for #3 but Faby gets our last say which is #1. We are wrapping up a month in Si Lom. To your point, there are a ton of awesome restaurants speckled around here., so venture over. See you around.

[@brianhammond2832]

I liked option 2. Nice pool, nice gym, nice neighborhood, nice apartment, nice view. Did you get any assurances about fixing the pool on opinion 1?

[@markfoley3923]

Brian, I liked option 2 also for all those reasons you said. In fact, I booked a 4-night stay later this month so I can have an in-depth look to see if this could be a future go-to place for long-term Bangkok stays. Cheers.

Aren't these a bit pricey? I'm getting about a quarter of those amounts on my Airbnb for entire condos for the same month's stay. Anybody??

[@kevinreily2529]

Yes, very pricey. Not having a clean pool is not a good sign of the owner/ management, but Option 1 was very roomy and a great area to live.

[@William-Online]

Agree. The 80.000 THB is ridiculous for the state and facilities of the accomodation. Not the first time they pick expensive. Their Chiang Mai AirBnB hunt was also totally out of touch with the real prices. This channel loves to go expensive and never does the research. But money doesn't seem to be an issue, so if they are happy.. Let them.

[@brianpan6453]

I just went on AirBnB and it appears there are plenty of spaces for less than 1,000. The "budget" option doesn't seem all that budgety! 😃

[@jasonlucas2328]

Just look at a studio condo in BKK on Airbnb with a gym and pool in the building. It is $400 a month with a monthly discount from the host. It seems that there are many places like that.

[@tzukhi]

@@jasonlucas2328 where do you look? Airbnb?

[@SynthSense-AI]

I learned from the locals in the Philippines that mosquitos can only fly 65 feet in the air. When I looked it up, the source I found said 90 feet, if you like to try to cool with outside air, it's best to be above the third floor. I also look for cross ventilation.

[@ianmcconaghy4927]

I'd have to agree with Hayley on this one, choice number 1, nice clean spacious layout in a great part of town. Enjoy!

[@theotheleo6830]

Although option 1 is definitely the nicest, I would have opted for option 3 or even 4 due to the much lower prices. I would trade a month of living in a nice apt for a month of "free" meals and ride shares.

[@eric777a]

Perfect timing to release this video esp July is gonna be fully open without restrictions, I'm thinking to stay in Thailand for few months and airbnb is definitely a good option. Good job Chris!

[@DarkoFitCoach]

What are rules for unvaxxed visitors? U say no rules so i am curious

[@mlh4711]

Hayley was spot on. I lived at Ploenchit for 7 years in Soi Nailert just opposite Ruamrudee and its a superb location. Genuinely. Everything you could possibly need is either on your doorstep or within striking distance and that's worth paying a little bit more for.

I would have went with option 4.. all overpriced! Considering 1 month in Pattaya AirBnB go from 200$ a month.. and really nice buildings near the beach

I think they are all overpriced too. Typical rent sites and Airbnb seem to offer way more modern and cheaper apartments.

Be well.

[@andrewmorrison5157]

Hi Chris seems quite expensive to me some of these places. Regarding your buying weed video which I enjoyed is it still legal to buy weed like you demonstrated . I am getting conflicting advice on other channels saying the government will close these places as they are not entirely legal. Perhaps you can do an update in this soon. Thanks

[@ExtroLurkerhaz]

They will stay open once everyone figures out who will get the bribes. Most likely the police wants a cut since more drugs will cause them eventual headaches, but then again some government employees probably want their fingers in the honeypot as well. Its always complicated in Thailand when something like this pops up and theres no real structure. Also yes, everything runs on bribes in Thailand. Everything you do requires documents and to get those you gotta pay up to some govscum. Not saying its bad, but most people don't know this.
